Download or read book Moral Science written by Alexander Bain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Science: A Compendium of Ethics The first division, entitled The Theory of Ethics, gives an account of the questions or points brought into discus sion, and handles at length the two of greatest prominence, the Ethical Standard, and the Moral Faculty. The second division - On The Ethical Systems - is a full detail of all the systems, ancient and modern, by conjoined Abstract and Summary. With few exceptions, an abstract is made of each author's exposition of his own theory, the fulness being measured by relative importance; While, for better comparing and remembering the several theories, they are summarized at the end, on a uniform plan. The connection of Ethics With Psychology is necessarily intimate; the leading ethical controversies involve a refer ence to mind, and can be settled only by a more thorough understanding of mental processes. Although the present volume is properly a continuation of the Manual of Psychology and the History of Philosophy, recently published, and contains occasional references to that treatise, it may still be perused as an independent work on the Ethical Doctrines and Systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Theory of Ethics The logical framework of the position which as a matter of theory I have here attempted to defend will be found more particularly in the first three chapters. These undertake to be a connected piece of reasoning which to some extent stands or falls as a whole. The two more essential features are the conception of value, and the naturalistic theory of duty as having its source in certain negative emotional restrictions on the positive life of desire. In view of the fact that I disagree with his conclu sions on almost every point, I should like to acknowledge a special obligation to the ethical writings of Mr. G. E. Bloore. I have drawn to some extent in the following pages upon articles published at various times recently in the Philo sophical Review. The analysis has however been sharp ened at a good many points; and I trust the argument has been made more convincing by being brought together in a connected form.

Download or read book Moral Theory written by G. C. Field and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-19 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Moral Theory: An Introduction to Ethics After having suggested some possible criticisms of the theories worked out in these two books, I have then attempted to see whether it would not be possible to arrive at a satis factory positive result by a modification and development of one of them. This occupies the latter part of the book. But all the conclusions in this part are only put forward very tentatively and provisionally. They are intended to stimulate thought and to suggest problems rather than to give a definite solution of them. I owe a debt of gratitude to many friends who have helped me, directly or indirectly, in the preparation of this work. For direct help, I am indebted to my colleague, Prof. Alexander Mair, of this University, with whom I have been able to discuss many of the problems here treated to Mr. W. D. Ross, Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, who has been kind enough to give me his opinions on the chapters on Aristotle, which he read through in manuscript and, above all to Prof. J. H. Muirhead of the University of Birmingham, who has read through the whole of the book in manuscript, and made many valuable comments and suggestions. Mr. J. E. Turner of this University has helped me greatly in the work of correcting the proofs and preparing an index. Of all those who have helped me indirectly, I can say but little. But I must record a special debt of gratitude to my old tutor, Prof. J. A. Smith of Oxford, who first set me on the road to such understanding as I possess of Aristotle, and, through him, of Moral Philosophy in general and to my pupils in four Universities, with whom I have discussed these and kindred subjects, and from whom, in teaching, I have learned more than I can possibly have taught them.

Download or read book The Elements of Ethics Classic Reprint written by James H. Hyslop and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Ethics The present work is designed as an introductory treatise upon the fundamental problems of theoretical ethics, and therefore to obtain standing ground from which to consider the practical questions that are affected by general principles. The book may seem rather an elaborate treatise for an introduction, but so great are the complications of ethical problems, so manifold are their interests, and so various have been opinions regarding them, that a writer to-day must choose between the perfunctory task of pro ducing a mere syllabus of words and the more important duty of saying enough to satisfy the wants of those who desire more than platitudes, and who wish some insight into the complexities of the case. The analysis of various questions has been made as complete as reasonable limits would allow, with the special pur pose Of trying to throw some light on the perplexities of ethical theories, and to present the author's conclusions regarding them. This purpose has involved a very exhaustive application of the analytic method, which may try the patience of those who desire synthetic and comprehensive results. But the writer is con vinced that we shall never get out of the wilderness of scholastic controversy and see-sawing with traditional theories until the analytic method is first carefully applied and our exact where abouts determined. We may then give a synthetic survey of the field without embroiling ourselves in the hocus - pocus of endless and futile discussions about 'words that may have a thousand meanings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common-Sense Ethics This book is a study, an earnest, fresh and living study of the ethical problem by a young philosopher who has reflected deeply on the metaphysical theories of the ancient and modern periods and has tried seriously to bring them into accord and to discover in them some guidance, particularly in regard to the political and social evolution which the present generation is witnessing. He describes his own View as that of common-sense Ethics. But by common sense it is clear that he does not intend to class himself with unphilosophical opinion, either in reasoned or con temptuous Opposition to philosophical theory.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Foundations of Ethics HE complaint which is made against meta physics - that it accomplishes nothing - may perhaps as justly be made against the science of Ethics. Men have thought much upon ethical problems, but those problems still remain, for the most part, unsolved. There are still many ethi cal schools, and, though the ground of the conflict has Shifted, the conflict has not ceased. But there is still much hope that this strife may be brought to an end.

Download or read book Notes to Aristotle s Ethics Classic Reprint written by William Edward Jelf and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes to Aristotle's Ethics IT is not my purpose in this edition to set forth a complete system of moral philosophy, or to compare and reconcile dif ferent views, but simply to assist the student of the Ethics in understanding Aristotle's meaning, and in following his arguments in the book before us. There is, indeed, scarcely a page of the work which might not have served as a peg on which to hang a dissertation on some point of the theory and practice of morals; but to do so would have interfered with, rather than furthered, my main aim: and I have therefore ah stained from general disquisitions, and have neither referred to ancient systems of philosophy, except where Aristotle's meaning would have been obscure without such reference nor to modern views, except where they directly illustrate, in more familiar language, and thus enable us more completely to apprehend what Aristotle meant to say. And this was the less necessary, as I believe what I have left undone will be performed by able hands. I wish rather to guide students, as far as I am able, to an understanding of what Aristotle says, before they proceed to compare him with, or judge him by, what has been advanced by those who went before or came after him, I am sure that he who carefully and patiently studies his ethical writings, (in which I would include the Rhetoric, ) will gain a knowledge of many of the secrets of man' s%ature, as it practically exists, and of men as they practically act, which will be found of great service, as well in the abstract study of the subject, as in practical dealing with, or guidance of, men. For Aristotle, looking with a curious and careful eye on the realities of human life, saw the elements of man's nature, the motives and springs of action.

Download or read book Utilitarianism Classic Reprint written by John Stuart Mill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Utilitarianism The difficulty is not avoided byl having recourse to the popular theory of a natural faculty, a sense or instinct, informing us of right and wrong. For besides that the existence of such a moral instinct is itself one of the matters in dispute - those believers in it who have any pretensions to philosophy have been obliged to abandon the idea that it discerns what is right or wrong in the particular case In hand, as our other senses discern the sight or sound actually present. Our moral faculty, according to all those of its interpreters who are entitled to the name of thinkers, supplies us only with the general principles of moral judgments; it is a branch of our reason, not of our sensitive faculty; and must be looked to for the abstract doctrines of morality, not for percep tion of it in the concrete. The intuitive, no less than what may be termed the inductive, school of ethics insists on the necessity of general laws. They both agree that the morality of an individual action is not a question of direct perception, but of the application of alaw to an individual case. They recognize also, to a great extent, the same moral laws but differ as to their evidence, and the source from which they derive their authority. According to the one opinion.
